Hello Everybody,
I know for a Like operator, [ ] * # ? have special significance and they are
used as parts of syntax. What if I am looking for a string pattern which
involves these characters; for example I am looking for a pattern where the
string starts with an opening square bracket and ends with a closing square
bracket with three alphabets between them; how can I use square brackets as
literal strings (not as a part of syntax)?

Thank you,
